    Well, I know I can (Alright, could, I'm a bit out of training) run a decent cross country 10 miles with around 15kg of luggage. But, it's really not good for a laptop to be running with it and I still have spinning disks!

    That and showering at work and dealing with getting shirts there is a PITA.

    The other thing is that I much prefer to run on an evening. I've never got this thing of running in the morning being a good start to the day - I always feel very much like I got up early and went for a run. I.e., tired, worn out and in no mood for work.

      Spinning disks? This is 2010 calling. They want their laptop back....

        I knew somebody would comment! It's actually got a decent 500GB SSD primary drive and then a 2TB secondary drive. I could probably upgrade now, but it was an expensive game at the time.

        I think I've also got a spinning USB HDD in my bag - that should probably be migrated to be fair!

        Either way, I definitely wouldn't be taking my own laptop on a run!

          Just a get one of those running prams and stick your laptop in there. Probably get your lunch in there to along with a flash of nice coffee.

            92 miles is a bit of a long run every morning and evening

                I "run" every morning, takes me 25 minutes to reach the office.

                Which is surprising, since I'm mostly working from home these days. Maybe I need to get my fitness checked out?

                  I like to take time out for my day to help the CUK community. If that's wrong I don't want to be right.
